1. Clinic
Examination, tests, treatment and preventive health services for children and young people aged 0-18 are provided by specialist doctors. Thanks to the special section created for children in the outpatient waiting room in the Department of Pediatrics in our hospital, both children and their parents spend a more comfortable and comfortable waiting time. Polyclinic rooms are arranged to ensure children are examined comfortably and safely. There is a breastfeeding room equipped with suitable equipment for expectant mothers to breastfeed and a separate room with a milking machine designed to assist mothers with breastfeeding problems and to facilitate milking. One of the most important goals of our Department of Child Health and Diseases is the importance of breastfeeding in the development of the baby. In this direction, training and seminars are organized. In addition, expectant mothers and new mothers are informed about newborn baby care and nutrition.
2. Inpatient service
Our services and rooms are arranged with the safety of children in mind. Considering the mental development of the inpatients, a suitable room arrangement has been created so that they can be with their parents as much as possible. Physicians evaluate their patients at least twice a day. Each attempt is made by informing the patient's family and obtaining their consent. Treatment approaches are evaluated in consultation with pediatric sub-branch specialists when deemed necessary.
3. Emergency Department
We have paediatricians for emergency pediatric services that continue 24 hours a day. All kinds of examinations and exchange of opinions are carried out immediately in patients who require hospitalisation. Some problems that require observation (such as asthma attacks, bronchiolitis, mild fluid loss due to diarrhoea, and fever) are monitored in the emergency room for a short time. Emergency medical support is received rapidly for problems involving sub-branch specialists or pediatric surgery.
4. Newborn Baby Room
There is a paediatrician in all deliveries in our hospital, and the baby is first examined. Temporary problems seen in the first hours after birth are usually resolved in the baby's room. After birth, babies are followed for 24 hours in the observation room with their mothers for breastfeeding under the supervision of our nurses, and they are discharged after the screening tests, routine controls and examinations that should be done within the first 72 hours after birth under the control of our specialist paediatricians. Blood samples are taken from each baby regarding hypothyroidism, phenylketonuria and metabolic diseases, and all babies are screened with a hearing test.
